The Orion ShoreView Pro 8x42 is an outstanding waterproof roof prism binocular designed to deliver a thrilling optical experience at an affordable price. Built with birding and nature study in mind, the Orion ShoreView Pro 8x42 is a precision pair of binoculars boasting the optical performance one would expect to have come from Orion, a leader in quality outdoor optics for over 37 years and counting.
As soon as you grab a pair of ShoreView Pro 8x42 binoculars, their high-quality construction is apparent. From top to bottom, the attention to detail in these binoculars is just as amazing as the great views you'll get from the precision optics they're made from. With substantial, 42mm diameter objective lenses, ShoreView Pro binoculars collect a good amount of light in order to produce clear, bright views of daytime targets with 8x magnification. Oversized eye lenses deliver a wide, 6.0° field-of-view. Many eyeglass wearers can leave their corrective lenses on while comfortably using ShoreView Pro 8x42 binoculars thanks to the extra long 21mm eye relief.
Lightweight and pleasantly portable, ShoreView Pro binoculars are easy to pack along as you explore the outdoors. Since they're waterproof, you won't have to worry if you get caught in the rain with this great binocular! Well-balanced ShoreView Pro 8x42 binoculars deliver a solid handheld feel and their 6" long frame promotes a natural, stable observing stance while tracking target objects.
The big, 42mm objective lenses, high-quality BAK-4 roof-prisms, and the rest of the binocular optics are multi-coated to deliver high-contrast, distortion-free true-color view of daytime fare such as birds, wildlife, and scenic landscapes. Their computer-optimized design and computer-aided manufacturing work together in harmony to deliver an exceptionally high-quality waterproof binocular.
Orion ShoreView Pro binoculars come with extendable eyecups, center focus adjustment, right-eye diopter adjustment, dust covers and a convenient nylon case.

Also commonly referred to as "power", magnification is a measure of how much closer an object appears when viewed through the instrument. For example, a 10x binocular will make an object appear 10-times closer than it would normally appear. An object positioned 100 yards away would appear as if it was just 10 yards away in a binocular with 10x magnification. The human eye is considered 1x magnification.
For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.
The edge-to-edge angular diameter of the image displayed in a binocular as seen by the eyes of the observer. It is an inherent specification for a given binocular design. The "angular diameter" of an object is defined as the angle an object makes (subtends) as seen by an observer.
The diameter of the circle of light exiting the binocular. Exit pupil is calculated by dividing the objective lens diameter by the binocular magnification. For example, a 10x50 binoculars has an exit pupil of 5mm (50/10=5). Knowing the exit pupil of a binocular can help determine the optimal binocular fro your needs. If a binocular exit pupil is larger than the dilation of the user's pupil, resolution is reduced since the maximum amount of light is not entering the eye. Typically under true dark adaptation a healthy human eye will dilate to approximately 7mm. This number can decrease with age and health factors.
Binocular lenses and prisms are often coated with anti-reflective material to minimize light loss as light travels through the multiple optical surfaces of a typical binocular. Coatings help maximize the amount of light transmitted through each glass surface of a binocular, so as much light as possible reaches the observer's eyes to provide a bright and sharp image.
Good lenses are at least "fully coated," with a single layer of magnesium fluoride coating applied to each air-to-glass lens surface. Multiple layers of coatings are even more effective; the term "multi-coated" means one or more air-to-glass lens surface has multiple coatings. "Fully multi-coated" optics are even better, meaning all lens surfaces have multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings applied for maximum light transmission and optimal image quality.
Porro Prisms:
A binocular prism system that contains two right-angle prisms in each barrel offset from one another, requiring that the objective lenses be spaced further apart than the eyepieces. Optically, porro prisms often perform better than their roof prism counterparts.
Roof Prisms:
A compact binocular prism system that allows the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepieces and hence yields a more portable binocular. Roof prism binoculars lose slightly more light to reflections than porro prism binoculars. High-quality roof prism binoculars compensate for this with special optical coatings.
